Positive to see the feds combine the housing portfolio w/ infastructure (which incl. Reaching Home $) under Sean Fraser. The prevention of #homelessness is #affordablehousing and resources for both need to be aligned. #cabinetshuffle #cdnpoli #housing ctvnews.ca/politics/sean-…

BC's charitable sector needs reform: instead of govt adequately funding essential public goods, we have an arrangment where NPOs - many which rely on the labour of those living in poverty - have precarious govt contracts from diff ministries creating fragmented services. #bcpoli

No one will deny that adding to the housing supply is good, but we should reconsider what "affordable housing" means when qualifying salaries range from $82k-128k to meet market rates. #AffordableHousing #bcpoli #princegeorge #bchousing #bc BC Housing news.bchousing.org/new-affordable…

Wait....what? "Government assisted death as the solution to abject poverty" did not make my 2023 bingo card. Angus Reid knows this is a ridiculous question to ask, and it totally politicizes and mocks our social crises. #cdnpoli #angusreid #maid #affordablehousing #cdnpolitics

All the takes are correct and yet they also miss the point. Yes, it was insane for the Democrats to think they could win by running a soulless candidate, without a shred of progressive policy vision, pursuing endorsements from neocon war-hawks everybody hates, while arming and
